[quote=Anonymous] [quote]Um what[/quote] In Chinese culture, the number four is considered unlucky (like 13 in US culture). The Chinese word for the number 4 is a homophone of the Chinese word for death (albeit with different intonation). Because of this businesses avoid the number 4 in addresses, phone numbers, floors, etc, much like why taller buildings in the US avoid having a 13th floor. As for OP's question: [quote]Person who says house that when you add all numbers of the house and get number 4 ( 1+1+2) or house number that basically has any number that’s include 4 (134)[/quote] The latter person is right. Chinese do not use the numerology additive practices in this superstition. The former assumption is mixing Western numerology with Chinese superstitions. Additive combinations do not give you the homophonic concern that the word death. So you avoid house numbers with the actual number four. In your example, people would say the house number as one-three-four and it would include the homophone for death. In the former case, 112, people would say the house number as one-one-two and there would be no four in that address.[/quote]
